You could also have a plug put on the other end of the cables, but I would not recommend that. The advantage of the patch panel is also the flexibility. I have connected phones to some of the sockets with it, because it is in my basement and a wireless solution would not reach up to the upper floor from there. However, you could also put LAN back on by simply plugging in differently.

Point 1 could be solved with homematic, couldn't it?

Point 1 can be solved with any roller shutter solution... Homematic, Somfy Tahoma, RWE stuff, Loxone, KNX and and and... it just depends on how much you want to invest and to what extent you want to make yourself dependent on the manufacturers...

Roller shutters with cable connection do not necessarily mean you have to be in every room to open/close them... here too, you can control the devices via appropriate solutions with the IPAD etc...

Can someone tell me what the difference is between a KOAX cable and a KNX cable, what would you have installed in a new building?

Coax = 75 ohm antenna cable with one conductor and a shield
Knx = data cable with 4 conductors

I would install both in the new building and then connect them appropriately

Hello Florian,

what has not been addressed so far is your planned heat generation/heat distribution. While the control (reduced operation, etc.) is certainly difficult with underfloor heating, it should definitely be planned with radiators, especially as this should be comfortably possible in 2016. For this, it is important that you achieve a sensible solution between the heat generator and the distribution, so that ideally they are networked together. Are there already concrete plans here?

In your current situation, you are also setting the course for the future here. Of course, many things can also be retrofitted later using wireless solutions, which is always disadvantageous in terms of maintenance (battery replacement) and functionality (range, …). Therefore, even if you do not yet have a direct use for it in some places, I would handle empty conduits "generously" at least, to be prepared for future renovations, etc.

Best regards, Erik
